Codecs SAF v5.02 *final* (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder) (11 Viewers)

Re: SAF v5.00 experimental (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder)

I've got a problem when I upgrade SAF 5. I have one file that windows not will overwrite. It is a file named "msvcr71.dll". It is in C:\Windows\SysWOW64.

I've tried several times with the same outcome: Not able to overwrite this file.

I'm using a Norwegian Win 7 Home Premium 64bit.

Enclosed is SAF log file and a screen shot in Norwegian. If you need it to be translated please give me a notify.

I've bought and installed PowerDVD 10 Ultra. And that is the only codec I've got on the computer. It's the same after re install and when I do an upgrade.

did you reboot after you uninstalled saf5? After the reboot you van instal new saf version.

@ hoborg:

What might be the problem, that once the sound is 5.1 i can't control it via Mdeiaportal? All stereo sources are ok, only surround sound doesn't work.

Yes I do make a reboot after uninstalling the old version. This problem have I had with SAF 5 since I started using it for several months ago.

Hi Hoborg,

Just upgraded to a fresh format of Win7 with latest SAF5 and MP1.1 Final. Everything works really really well except for one small problem. If I use the above setup for TV the TV stops working when I change from an AC3 channel to a new channel with AAC audio. If I switch between AC3 and AAC audio on the same channel it's fine, the error only happens when I switch to a new tv channel with AAC audio while watching a channel with AC3 audio. If I change the MPEG/AC3 Audio Decoder from FFDShow Audio Decoder -> Microsoft DTD-DVD Audio decoder then I don't get the crash.

I posted the bug report here
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...nnel-aac-tv-channel-ffdshow-85175/#post643572

It seems to only effect ffdshow, because from memory my last setup was using ac3filter for Live TV.

PS. I also upgraded to ATI CCC 10.7, intially I had a problem where the overscan kept reverting back to -10%, I fixed this problem by closing CCC in the system tray, after doing that the overscan stayed at 0%. When I rebooted CCC reloaded in the system tray, but it didn't try to revert the overscan settings. This is listed as a bug on the ATI AMD Driver forums, so I post this fix in case other users are having problems, I think it happened around version 10.5

Re: SAF v5.00 experimental (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder)

SAF V5 fixed my DVD playback problem by using the FFDSHOW codecs. However, now I'm struggling to get FFDSHOW to handle live or recorded TV. Codecs in MediaPortal are setup according to post #1.

The problem is playing .ts files. Programs broadcast in 1080 are very choppy and the picture lags behind the sound substantially. Playback of 720 content seems to be OK.

I know that Hoborg discourages the use of MPC-MPEG-2 (Gabest) due to certain problems, so much so that the SAF installer actually unregisters MPC-MPEG-2. If I manually re-register the codec, MPC-MPEG-2 provides very good playback of .ts files on my system, and I've not run into problems (yet?). (Codec file = Mpeg2DecFilter.ax in MediaPortal folder.)

So after re-registering MPC-MPEG-2 and telling MePo to use it for TV, I have a system that (finally!) plays DVDs (via FFDSHOW) and .ts files (via MPC-MPEG-2). Yes, a sane person would simply stop there, but the very fact that I continue to use MediaPortal after two years should be evidence enough to put me in a padded cell.

For troubleshooting FFDSHOW I'm testing only in GraphStudio. Rendering .ts in GraphStudio gives the identical problem. I've tried changing various settings in FFDSHOW Video, but the solution eludes me. I've just installed svn 100730 (still hot from the oven) and the problem persists.

Setup is:
1. Windows XP Pro (up to date)
2. NVIDIA GeForce 9400 (integrated)
- driver 182.50 (AKA version 6.14.11.8250 date 3-27-2009)
3. Realtek HD Audio (integrated)
- driver R2.48 (AKA version 5.10.0.6101 date 4-30-2010)
- using analog line out
4. MediaPortal 1.1.0 final
5. SAF V5 unlocked svn 100730
- default settings
6. HDMI connection to LCD monitor.

A .ts file rendered in GraphStudio gives the expected graph,

Filename.ts....video --> ffdshow Video Decoder --> Video Mixing Renderer 9
.....................audio --> ffdshow Audio Decoder --> Default Direct Sound Device

Looking at processes in the Task Manager, GraphStudio.exe uses 35-45% CPU during playback of a 1080 file. No other processes are taking up the CPU.

Now, if I simply edit the graph by replacing the FFDSHOW Video with MPC-MPEG-2 (Gabest), the file plays just fine, and GraphStudio.exe uses 20-30% CPU.

How do I get FFDSHOW to play .ts files?

Hi.
The main difference between FFDSHow and gabest decoder is deinterlacing.
Can you provide small sample to test?

I bet your GPU is to slow to do HW deinterlacing.
To confirm this, start your TS video, double click on FFDshow icon in system tray, Output and here uncheck "Set interlace flag in output ..."

As Mpc-hc or even zoom player can play this contect, i see no reason why Saf and Meepo cant.

I can send you links to some samples if you are interested, though without a 3d TV you are unlikely to be able to do much with it......

best regards and thansk so much for all your work for the community.

Hi.
If such media play in MPC-HC it should play in Graphstudio (and MePo) too.
you are right, i have no chance to test it...

Hi.
That is strange, SAF should install "msvcr71.dll" only if it is missing in system, but you already have it.
Just ignore this message.

BTW, anyone else have this issue?

I guess there is a new version of PDVD out?

Hi.
I added new PDVD decoders ~1 mounth ago
BTW, CLVD Pack now requaired registration...

Try stopping TV Service before installing SAF, then restart it afterwards. I've often had locked files by TV Service that SAF cannot replace until it is stopped.

Hi Hoborg. Would it be possible to add something to keep ffdshow settings or backup them and enabled them on new installation?

There is button in FFDshow to export all settings.

But this is not recomended, settins are changed a lot of time between FFDshow versions.

What special setting are you using? Maybe i can add them by default.
